10 days I've spent,

10 days I've wept.

Today you return

Eyes and your smile,

Your smile,

The smile that makes me whole,

The smile that makes me wonder,

How do you love me?

How do you love such a feeble creature

Such as I?

How did you choose

My stupid freckles?

My blonde hair?

Worst of all, 

How did  you choose my dull green eyes?

I often wonder,

Is this a horrible facade?

A trick?

A lie?

But then I waited under my blue umbrellla,

More like hid.

I waited at the station

For the 10'o clock train.

The people around me dull too

Just like my eyes.

I played piano lightly on my knee,

I look around at the wisps of smoke.

The smoke came from the guy stood there.

He gave me a wink,

I just looked down to my shoes.

I waited from 9 onward,

Even though I knew,

The train came at 10.

Not at noon.

Not at dawn.

But still you ring in my mind,

Night and day.
